Reader reviews for I Am the Grand Canyon: The Story of the Havasupai People

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.07 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.07 / 5 (363 total reviews)

Readers describe the book as a well-researched, respectful chronicle of the Havasupai people’s history and decades-long fight to reclaim ancestral lands, laying bare government failures and the opposition of some environmental groups before a landmark return in the 1970s. Many found it moving, eye-opening, and a valuable companion to visits to the Grand Canyon, praising elders’ voices and archival photographs. Critiques center on dry, bureaucracy-heavy sections, uneven pacing, and a wish for more on daily life, spirituality, and reference aids, yet the book is widely recommended.

From the publisher

I Am the Grand Canyon is the story of the Havasupai people. From their origins among the first group of Indians to arrive in North America some 20,000 years ago to their epic struggle to regain traditional lands taken from them in the nineteenth century, the Havasupai have a long and colorful history. The story of this tiny tribe once confined to a toosmall reservation depicts a people with deep cultural ties to the land, both on their former reservation below the rim of the Grand Canyon and on the surrounding plateaus.

In the spring of 1971, the federal government proposed incorporating still more Havasupai land into Grand Canyon National Park. At hearings that spring, Havasupai Tribal Chairman Lee Marshall rose to speak. "I heard all you people talking about the Grand Canyon," he said. "Well, you're looking at it. I am the Grand Canyon!" Marshall made it clear that Havasu Canyon and the surrounding plateau were critical to the survival of his people; his speech laid the foundation for the return of thousands of acres of Havasupai land in 1975.

I Am the Grand Canyon is the story of a heroic people who refused to back down when facing overwhelming odds. They won, and today the Havasupai way of life quietly continues in the Grand Canyon and on the surrounding plateaus.
